We're LOVING having Hudson here!
He started calling for Dad when he saw John, but I think he'll be fine.
He's having so much fun playing with the kids and esp. Will's train table.
Will and Hudson ended sleeping in the same room because Will chickened out of sleeping in HOnor's bunk bed. The boys woke up a little before 5, but we got Hudson in our bed, and they went back to sleep. Hudson was sad when Tia left for work this morning, but like I said, we have great distractions here.
It's just like we always pictured
-- all the cousins' kids playing together. If only
Chad and Hudson lived closer . . . :)
Safe travels Chad, and love to you all!

Annie's Report
I can not tell you all what a JOY it was to travel with Hudson yesterday!
I burst into tears when I landed in SF and saw Tenley and Honor waiting for us at the gate because Hudson had been so easy, I just felt like little Linds was somewhere making sure that I had an easy trip :)
We avoided a tearful good-bye with Chad, as he just kind of walked away, which was hard for us adults who knew what was going on.
Then Hudson and I made it smoothly thru security and onto the plane where we had TWO SEATS in the bulkhead! At one point a man came and sat down, forcing me to put Hudson on my lap, but I asked him to move 5 minutes later--
there was NO WAY that was going to work : )
We played with his trains and cars and "wri, wri" - that's writing, Hudson style-
had some snacks and watched about 10 minutes of Happy Feet ("peh, peh") and then Hudson drifted off to sleep. I was so thankful!
Then he woke up with about 10 minutes before landing, and Tenley and Honor were waiting for us at the gate.
Hudson had a BIG old time playing with Honor and Will, and as Tenley mentioned, is OBSESSESED with all of Will's trains.
He is such a little pipsqueak compared to Will, and it is such a crack-up to watch them all play together. They had a bath together last night, and Honor and Will were wrestling each other to be able to sit closest to Hudson.
No surprise, but I can't stop getting emotional (tearing up as I write this of course) because it is so incredibly bittersweet to watch Hudson play with his cousins, knowing we all did the same thing when we were little with our cousins,
and how Linds had always talked about wanting to move back to the Bay Area some day so that the new generation of cousins could all play together.
Hudson is such an incredible little soul.
I took lots of pics while I was in Dallas and will get those uploaded as soon as I get home tonight. We had a great time at Chad's birthday party, and I really enjoyed my time alone with Hudson at Tietze Park.
Lots of love to all of you. I'll be back with the kids on Weds night and will give another report- Ten's got her hands fill with three kids this week, so leave the updates to me : )

Pep's Report
We just returned from a cousin's outing to Chuckie Cheese.
We were each assigned a child - Marty had Will, Tenley had Honor
and I had Hudson.
They all loved it.
Hudson seemed to take a liking to Chuckie Cheeze himself
and to the simulated roller coaster ride.
We are now back at Ten's making dinner and watching the 3 playing together.
Pep
Meanwhile, he travels
mr h, by the sea, Thanksgiving 2007I am so behind
and the little man keeps moving forward
and logging miles
and celebrating his 2nd Christmas on this earth
with his loving dad.
Yesterday, Hudson - accompanied by round-trip flying aunt* Annie - arrived in California and is now happily settling in amidst cousins* Will and Honor.
The reports follow (and photos I assume).
Love and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.
Aunt C
* We're just going to call all relatives by the titles that best suit their roles, no second/removed/steps here.
